IMPORTANT

KILIMANJARO TRAVEL INSURANCE & MOUNTAIN EVACUATION

In an emergency situation, you don’t want to waste valuable time getting approval from your insurance company.
1.

KILIMANJARO TRAVEL INSURANCE

Kilimanjaro travel insurance is mandatory for all our climbers. The cost of medical evacuation is expensive and so it is vital that your policy covers emergency evacuation up to 6000m above sea level and any associated medical treatment

2.

CLIENT INFORMATION

Once you book a climb with us, we will send out a client medical form which needs to be filled out and returned back to us. It is for your own safety that we find out about your medical history to ensure that you can cope with the demands of the trip safely and without risk to your health.

3.

KILIMED AIR REGISTRATION

We register a copy of your insurance details and passport copy with KiliMed Air Aviation Limited . They will liaise with the insurance company on your behalf. Please read the fine print of your insurance carefully, to establish whether the policy covers you on a reimbursement basis and whether there is any pre-approval required.

    Experience the Wild…

    Welcome to Tarangire Simba Lodge, Tarangire National Park is a gem on the northern safari circuit. Teeming with wildlife, especially in the dry season, this area is a safari-goers dream. Located near the new Sangaiwe Gate of Tarangire National Park. Tarangire Simba Lodge is situated in a wildlife-rich area with unhampered views to beautiful Lake Burunge, bordered by the park and a Wildlife Management Area. The setting is stunning; with a giant old Baobab tree anchoring one corner and a permeating feeling of real Africa.

    The lodge opened in mid 2015 (July) and has 24 classic tents under thatch. Resident wildlife includes lion, zebra, bushbuck, impala, porcupine, monkeys, warthog, mongoose and more. Elephant, buffalo, ostrich and giraffe frequently pass through while the bird life is prolific and vibrant.

    Areas surrounding national parks are critical for conservation. The location of Tarangire Simba Lodge creates a buffer between the park and the nearby village areas, which, although currently sparse in population, are under cultivation and could be subject to human/wildlife conflict. We work closely with the rangers at the nearby station to ensure that the wildlife is not compromised.

     

     

    During the dry season groups of elephant, giraffe, waterbuck, zebra and more come to a small waterhole located in front of the lodge. Lucky guests can watch wildlife right from their rooms or the elevated viewing platform near the pool.

    Guests are able to enter, exit and re-enter from the Sangaiwe gate of Tarangire National Park with ease.

     

    Fine hospitality for safari travellers

    Accommodation at Tarangire Simba Lodge is in sixteen classic canvas safari tents situated permanently under thatch. The spacious tents are constructed on platforms complete with wooden floors, large en-suite dressing room, toilet and shower. There are twin and queen tents; triples are possible. There is also a family tent with two queen-sized beds. Additionally there is an outdoor shower and each tent has a private veranda with views to the bush and Lake Burunge. Furnishings are handcrafted from African hardwood complimented with tastefully selected fabrics; electricity and hot water are solar powered. Full amenities are provided.

    If you’re lucky you may see wildlife right from your room or verandah!
